Oh my, that is embarrasing. Such a beautifully designed car but such trouble. First Dinan hacking up some Z8 frames and now this. Boy am I glad I didn't buy a Z8.

Supposedly Nicholas Gage bought the 1st Z8 in So. Cal. for over $300k. from South Bay BMW when they came out. Followed closely by the 2 owners of Skechers for the same amount.

Thanks Josh, I have been aware of this a week now
http://bmwz8.us/htmlL/chat_frame.htm


My car appears ok(9500 miles now), but I'm sure this is going to hurt the resale value. I had already planned to sell mine at the end of this year, before this came out, as I always get something differnt every few years.

BTW- I test drove a new Cayman yesterday, pretty sweet. I want to check out the new MCoupe though. I'll be out your way in February so I'll call you for our BBQ
